Foundation Learning

Foundation learning, and our 14 to 16 provision, offers courses for young people who require one or two years of additional learning before progressing onto vocational courses, an apprenticeship, a supported internship or employment.

Students receive high levels of individually-focused support and will develop their personal, social and employability skills. As part of studying with us, students will undertake a range of class-based and practical hands-on activities, introducing them to the various areas of the land-based industry.

In addition, students will study for Functional Skills qualifications in maths and English where necessary and, undertake a range of theory and practical hands-on activities in horticulture and animal management.
